In Ten Yean
T was ill tlic'office of Eniamicl Neu- iiiann, who has just rctunicd from Pal¬ estine (he other day.
I snid, "Mr. Ncum-inii, as we arc sit- liiiK Iierc, a uiaii comes in wilTi some drinking concoction. It looks like wine from the vineyards of Carmel—the kind of wine that pcrliajis David drank w1icn he sang the psalms. It looks that way, but wc take a driiik, and it must liave some powerful ipotion in it, for imme¬ diately wc fall asleep.
"And when we wake" U[)—wc nili our eyes. The scene ahout us Iook.s unfa¬ miliar. Hitler, we arc told, has long ago heen hung, the New Deal has heen sup- I)Iemenlc<r with a Newer Deal—in fact, as wc look at the Calendar to sec wliat day and dale it is, we find it is ly^y." "We have been asleep ten yOars;" "Now, Mr. Neumann, presuming tlii5 to have happened, and wc are in the year IIM-'i instead of IDO;.!, what do yon think wc would sec then in I'alcstinc?" "Well," began Mr. Neumann, "I should say then we would see in Palcslincabout three quarters of a million Jews. Yes, I don't sec why there, shouldn't he that many Jews in Palestine in ten years from now."
"And," contimicd Mr. Newmann "we should sec"—hut jnst then the beloved Kahili Meyer Berlin, licad of the Miz¬ rachi, came in and the. member oi the Jewish Agency Executive asketl us to allow iiiiii to continue his visioning. soine other time.
Ia Desert Song 7
^ 'Which reminds mc that Dr. S. M. Me |limed lias also latelj^ been dokig some visioning. He wants to know the ulti' mate about Zionism. What is its remoter aspects—its final goal, and the learned scholar-editor of Chicago comes to the conclusion that the final goal of Zionism is the conquest of the Desert. i
The Jews, he believes, will llll up Palestine proper and the Trans-Jordan aiul then reacli out to the surrounding desert. And the conquest of that com. plcte desert will be the final triumph For says Melainnied, we must pay back the Desert what it has given us. In, the desert, he points out, the Jew received his.conception qf God. There, too, was revealed to him that Man is not a part of Nature, but superior to it. ,,
And now in making the desert bloom, Israel will but be repaying its age-old debt to the bleak, sterile sands. The Nazi Salute
Kohert E'cnchley objects to the Nazi salute. It is, he says, inelegant, in that it is the common sign for indicating that you want to go out of the room and £0—!
'Inelegant, perhaps, but appropriate. On The German Stage Only one Jew, says a report from Ger- ¦ many (o Variety, has been allowed to re¬ main on the Berlin legitimate stage. He is Aelxandcr Grauach and is playiiig the Mephisto part in "Faust." It is ex¬ plained,-says tile same report, that Gra- nach is not being bothered, because the Nazis like to look at a Jew in the role of the devil.
The Jew is the Devil, the Nazis the Saints, and I am the Prince _,o£ Whiles. Towards Utopia
Mr. Robert Segal, inventor of numer¬ ous thingamajigs, inchuling the S^gal razor, and brother of the inventor of the Segal luck, was at a dinner the other night.
Turning to Miss Flatou, well known Zionist worker, Mr. Segal asked if she had read his book—¦"Triopoly." "No," said Miss Flatou. "You should read it," said Mr, Segal, "I think it will make history."
Later Mr. Segal confided that in ten years lime, the United States would adopt the economic principles outlined (Continued on page 2)
Hadassah and Zionists in U. S.
to Put Coalition Ticket
Into World Congress
Women's Organization Wins Victory
in Obtaining Equal Share in
Naming Dcle(>:ates
CHICAGO, July y—A coalition ticket of delegates to the World Zionist Con¬ gress in Prague this August, with half of i tlie delegates named by the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America and the other half named by Hadassah, appeared a certainty here today as the nominations and other cominittees of the American Zionist Con¬ vention met in preparation for the re¬ sumption of plenary sessions and elec¬ tions tomorrow;
While the agreement of the Zionist Or¬ ganization of America permitting Ha¬ dassah to fill half of the mandates ap¬ parently seems a victo/y for the latter group, which for a long time has been demanding equal voice with the forirrer group on the strength o£ its numl>crs and contributions for the rebuilding of Pales¬ tine, it is understood that Hadassah has agreed to include on its ticket outstand¬ ing leaders, of American Zionism, who otherwise would have been named by the Zionist Organization of America. Brandcis-Mack Gruup
It is likely that a number of leaders represenfiug the Braiideis-Mack group therei'ore will be named on the Hadassah slate, ,.
Morris RoUicnberg, president of the American Zionists, will be number one on die coalition ticket, it is understood./
While the coalition question thus far bas not been brought up in the open sessiolis of the convention it hiis quietly oixupied fhf at+pntion of the le?.ders for .t long time.
It is geneially realized that, consider¬ ing the present state of affairs, the Zion¬ ist Organizatiort of America has little alternative but to accede to the Hadassah deinands for fuller voice in American Zionist councils.
The chief opposition to the coalition ticket, it was learned, came from the group supporting Dr. Chaim Weizmann, who sought a full delegation to the world congress favoring his return to tho pres^ idency of the organization. The Ameri¬ can delegation as a consequence of tin coalition is almost certain to hold de¬ cidedly varying view^ on the nomination for the presidency. ;
They Want Weizmann
The resolutions committee at its meet¬ ing today is e'xpected to produce for to¬ morrow's session resolutions calling for the return of Dr. Weizmann to the presi¬ dency of the world organization. How¬ ever, the tone of the committee's demand may be modified in view of recent events.
The resolutiona committee also is ex¬ pected to make a definite proposal for a new agreement concerning the relationship of tbe Zionist Organization of America with a:lfiliated bodies, especially Hadassah and the Sons of Zion.
The proposal is.likely to follow the outlines suggested by Morris Margulies, which embody t!ie idea of the opinions of a majority ruling the administration.

NEW YORK, Today; —The Nazi government is definitely out to extermin¬ ate the Jews, Dr. Henry Mo.'skowitz de¬ clared yesterday on his return from Europe on the S. S. Majestic. He said that there was no change in the Jewish situation in Germany since the boycott, and added that conditions there are more dangerous now because life on the sur¬ face looks normal, and the average per¬ son cannot see the effective strangula¬ tion of Jewish economic existences which is taking place there. .
Dr. Moskowitz was away five weeks spending a great deal of his time in Ger¬ many investigating conditions among Jews in that land and also interviewing German Jewish refugees in London and Paris. He will make a report on his' findings to.the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee of which he is a mcmher of its Board of Directors aiid which organization is now engaged .in an effort to'lfai^e "$2,000,000 from American Jewry to provide relief to the 000,000 persecuted Jews of Germany, of which New York Jewry is endeavoring to raise $1,000,000 as its quota. Rabbi Jonah E. ¦ Wise is National Chairman of the cam¬ paign.
The most heartbreaking tragedy how¬ ever, in his opinion, that is occurring in Germany now, is what is happening to the Jewish child, whose treatment at the hands of both the teachers and the pupils is devastating. In his statement Dr. Moskowitz satd: "A. quiet economic pogrom ¦ is now going on in Germany which, if unchecked will destroy Jewish corporate and eco^, iipmic life within a short time. Almost every other day new decrees are passed by the Hitler cabinet, which means loss of jobs to thousands of Jews.
"The aim of the present Hitler regime is the extermination of the Jew in Ger¬ man life. The terrorism is subtler and more poignantly tragic, for open violence, is more to be preferred than the anguish of living in a country where one is. un¬ certain whether the axe will fall on the morrow. People look iii their pockets to see if'they have papers or letters which would incriminate them.
"I do not desire to repeat details of brutal atrocities, but I cannot refrain from calling attention to the effect of the Hitler regime upon Jewish children. It is true that in the vast majority of the schools, Jewish children are not separated from German children, but they are sepa¬ rated psychicly 'by thousands^ of miles. The stories told by parents of Jewish children about their treatment in the schools is heartrending. The Hitler re¬ gime appeals to the emotion of the peo¬ ple; parades and holidays arc frequent in Germany now. Pupils are informed . that a holiday will occur on a certain day. Jewish children dress up for it. When they come to the school that day the teacher will ask them to arise in the pres¬ ence of the German children, and then say 'yon cannot participate in this holi¬ day because you are not German.' , The children tlien return to their parents, weeping, and ask them 'Why am I not a German?'- This is. \yorse than physical separation.
